Why should I apply for RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector?
Specially tailored for government employees, this personal loan compliant with Shariah principles offers a low and flat profit rate of 5.75% p.a. for the whole period of borrowing.
This means you don't have to worry about the fluctuations of the Islamic Base Rate as your monthly instalment amount is fixed.
Government pensioners can also apply for RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector, on the condition that you must open and maintain a bank account with RHB Islamic Bank.
How much money can I borrow?
RHB Islamic Bank allows you to borrow as much as RM300,000, with the minimum borrowing amount starting from RM2,000.
The repayment terms for this personal financing are flexible between 2 to 10 years.
Once your personal financing application is approved, you need to pay a Brokerage Charge of RM30 and a statutory Stamp Duty of RM10.
After RHB Islamic Bank has reviewed and approved your personal financing application, your money will then be transferred to a Savings Account or Current Account of your choice.
What is my monthly instalment payment?
RHB Islamic Bank will provide you with a repayment table based on the approved borrowing amount and selected tenure of financing.
You are obligated to make your instalment payment on time every month.
If you pay your instalment after the due date, RHB Islamic Bank will charge you a late payment fee of 1% of the outstanding balance.
You are also required to set up a salary deduction payment via Biro Angkasa for this personal financing. This way you don't have to miss a payment.
Can I choose to settle my Islamic personal loan early?
There is no penalty for early settlement, provided that you inform RHB Islamic Bank with a 1-month notice before terminating your Islamic financing facility.
In fact, you will be granted Ibra’ (rebate) based on the profits calculation and any applicable early settlement charges.
Do I need Takaful coverage?
Like it or not, Takaful coverage is compulsory for this Islamic personal financing facility.
You can sign up for a Takaful plan with RHB Islamic Bank's panels or Takaful providers of your choice.
On the bright side, this Takaful coverage is beneficial in the event you have lost the capability to meet your outstanding payments due to total permanent disability and death.
What documents are required for the RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector application?
To approve your personal financing application, RHB Islamic Bank requires you to fill up an application form and submit it together with supporting documents such as:
- Copy of your IC (front and back)
- Latest 1 month's salary slip/commission statement
- Latest 1 month's bank statement
- Latest 12 months EPF statement
- Latest Form B/BE with the official tax receipts by IRB
Am I qualified to apply for an RHB personal loan if I'm blacklisted?
Depending on your credit history with other financial institutions, all this information (outstanding credit card, personal loan, home loan or car loan debts) will be captured in CCRIS / CTOS (a system that collects credit information on borrowers, not blacklisting them).
Assuming you have poor credit standing due to irregular payments, the best course would be to break the habit and start making your payments on time to avoid future hurdles.
RHB Islamic Bank is more likely to approve your RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector application if you can show that you are managing your personal finances, rather than accumulating more debt.
